Pine Wood Derby 2009

This Pine Wood Derby was the biggest one we had been to. It was Wonderful and Thank yous to all who helped run it, much appreciated! Bentley had so much fun working on this with Dad, and I would have to say he did work with Dad though the whole project and ended up doing about half of the work. I'm not sure of the total number of boys I think around 30 and Bentley got 5 place. Way to Go!!

Taking Tiffany to School

Wow this taking your kids to college is tough business!! We had a great time! Introduced Nana to Gilmore Girls as we drove and watched almost the whole 4th season. Got to see Shelby and Derek's great apartment. Had dinner with and got to see Shane, Linda, Kody, and Courtney. Kody welcome home! And Courtney the brunette, who knew! Had dinner and a show with Kayti and Nikki, thanks for the great girl talk ladies! Shopped and decorated, unpacked met the great roomies. Went to church with Kayti and Aaron. And did a Whole Lot of crying. Good tears! Sad tears! Tears just because change is hard! Wouldn't really have it any other way, it is time for Tiffany to spread her wings and fly, but wow this taking your sweet beautiful daughter to college is tough business!

The Very Full Car. (we were dropping Lincoln off to School and then we picked up Nana and then off to Idaho)

Christmas is over at our house

Many moons ago Karsten Lyman said to Ketti, after his mom had put all of their Christmas decorations down, Christmas is over at our house. So with that said, we had a great Christmas!!
